Why You’ll Love Mango‑Strawberry Yogurt Parfaits Recipe

The sweet combo of mango and strawberry is simply irresistible and full of natural fruit flavour.

Variations

Swap in vanilla‑flavored Greek yogurt for a slightly sweeter twist.
Add a drizzle of lime juice for a citrusy lift.
Include some chopped mint or basil for a fresh herb note.
Replace slivered almonds with toasted coconut flakes or chopped pistachios.
For extra indulgence, add a layer of granola between fruit and yogurt for crunch.
Use seasonal berries (raspberries, blueberries) if strawberries aren’t at their best.
Make a vegan version by using coconut yogurt and skipping honey (use maple syrup).
Layer in chia seed pudding or overnight oats for a hearty breakfast parfait.

Storage/Reheating

These parfaits are best enjoyed immediately for freshness and the right texture.
If you do prepare ahead, assemble the fruit and yogurt separately and keep chilled. Combine just before serving so the fruit remains firm and the yogurt retains its ideal texture.
Store leftovers (if assembled) in the fridge and consume within 1 day; note the layers may soften as the fruit releases juices.
No reheating needed—this is a cold‑serving treat.

FAQs

What type of yogurt should I use?

You can use plain Greek yogurt (fat‑free or low‑fat) to keep it light and let the fruit be the star. If you prefer something creamier, full‑fat Greek yogurt works too.

Can I make this ahead of time?

Yes — you can prepare the fruit mixture ahead of time and keep it chilled. However, for best texture, layer the yogurt just before serving.

Can I use frozen fruit instead of fresh?

You could, but fresh fruit gives the best texture and flavour. If you use frozen mango or strawberries, thaw and drain any excess liquid to avoid a watery parfait.

Is honey necessary, or can I skip it?

You can skip the honey or substitute maple syrup, especially if your fruit is already sweet. The sweetener is optional and just enhances the fruit slightly.

Can I add more layers or change the ratios?

Absolutely — you could do more than two layers or adjust the yogurt‑to‑fruit ratio to your preference. More yogurt gives a creamier feel; more fruit makes it lighter and fresher.

How many calories per serving?

Each serving contains approximately 133 kcal.

Can I make it gluten‑free?

Yes—this is naturally gluten‑free, so long as your yogurt is gluten‑free (check labels) and you don’t add granola that contains gluten.

What if I don’t have slivered almonds?

No problem — you can substitute chopped nuts (walnuts, pecans), toasted seeds (pumpkin, sunflower) or skip the topping entirely.

Can I scale the recipe up for more people?

Yes — just multiply the ingredient amounts by the number of servings you need. The layering method remains the same.

What’s the best way to serve this?

Use clear glasses so the fruit and yogurt layers show through—visually appealing. Serve chilled immediately after assembling for the freshest texture.
